Hangul
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes (Oh, oh, okay)
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes)
Oh, oh, oh
I’m ten feet down in the game
A game that doesn’t care about the outcome of winning or losing
The beat passed me, moving as if I were possessed
Those eyes that already pierce me after falling in love with your makeup
Even if I try, I’m out of breath, out of breath
I feel like I’m trapped, in a trap
Are you kidding me, I’m having fun now, I’m having fun now
I’m the only one committed, yes, to this game
I chase you and get lost every night
I’m going crazy as a habit
This is a perfect mistake, mistake, uh, yeah
Is it a sin of arrogant illusion?
Between that hand gesture and the look
I can’t beat you, I never ever (felt like)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Distract me all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
My feet are tangled up, like I’m possessed by something
Wrong answers piled up every night
I feel like my breathing will stop too
An endless nightmare
The feeling that only an afterimage remains
Think about it, words that are like traces
You don’t even have the slightest idea
To the depths where I fell
Is it a dead-end trap?
No more getting lost in the answer
This is a perfect mistake, mistake, uh, yeah
In the end, even if I escape, I will not be in your hands
It gets crazier every moment
I can’t beat you, I never ever (felt like)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Distract me all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Take a look, look, look at my life
Save me from this pain
He’s calling you
You are cruel and disappear without a trace
I can’t escape
It’s falling apart
So I’m getting crazier and crazier about you
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Distract me all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) I’m caught in a trap called you
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy) Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
Romanised
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes (Oh, oh, okay)
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes)
Oh, oh, oh
I’m ten feet down in the game

Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes (Oh, oh, okay)
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes)
Oh, oh, oh
I’m ten feet down in the game
I play without worrying about winning or losing
The beat that passed me by
I move as if hypnotized
Already caught in your trap
Those eyes pierce me
No matter how hard I try, I’m breathless
I feel like I’m caught in a trap
You keep having fun like you’re kidding me now
Am I the only one running around in this game, yeah
Chasing you, I lose my way every night
Going crazy out of habit
This is a perfect mistake, mistake, uh, yeah
Is it my fault that I was so arrogantly wrong?
Between your gestures and your gaze
I will never be able to beat you, never, ever
(I felt like)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
You scatter me, keep me up all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
My steps tangled, as if I were under a spell
Wrong answers pile up every night
It feels like even my breathing might stop
An endless nightmare
Only afterimages remain in my senses
I remember words that seemed like traces
You don’t leave any clues
And I keep falling lower and lower
Is it a trap with no escape?
Even if I ramble more, there is still no answer
This is a perfect mistake, mistake, uh, yeah
In the end, even if I run away
They are still in the palm of your hand
Every moment I get crazier
I will never be able to beat you, never, ever
(I felt like)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
You scatter me, keep me up all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
Take a look, look, look at my life
Save me from this pain
I’m calling you
Cruel as you are, you disappear without a trace
I can’t free myself
I’m falling apart
At this rate, I’m losing myself more and more for you
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
You scatter me, keep me up all night, uh
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
I’m caught in the trap that is you
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)
Take a look, look, look at my life
(Crazy, crazy, crazy)

EXO describes the feeling of being caught in a romantic trap where logic no longer works, creating a push-and-pull dynamic between desire and frustration. The repeated emotional tension reflects the feeling of falling deeper and deeper into madness.
